We love looking at hardcore electronics projects with a beefy microcontroller and hundreds, if not thousands, of lines of code at its center. But everyone needs to get there somehow. This tutorial ...

A Direct AVR Parallel Access, or DAPA cable, is an incredibly simple and cheap programming method. You can build one very quickly for a few bucks worth of parts, but the convenience comes with a few ...

For this project I use Atmega328P which is an old but lovely microcontroller used in Arduino Uno. Keep in mind that Atmega328P is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS and we are going to use it only to ...

Whether you are creating a small Internet appliance, some hardware instrumentation, data loggers or an army of autonomous robots to do your bidding, in numerous situations you need the flexibility of ...

Here you can learn many more interesting and useful about USB bootloaders for AVR microcontrollers. In practice, one of the most proper microcontroller programming method is using a bootloader program ...

Turns the Raspberry Pi Pico into an AVR programmer via SPI programming mode. Instructions are streamed using the serial port to the Raspberry Pi Pico via USB which handles the rest. Verifies flashed ...

Mouser Electronics, Inc. is now stocking the ATtiny104 Xplained Nano from Atmel. Designed as an evaluation kit for Atmel’s recently launched ATtiny102 and ATtiny104 8-bit AVR microcontrollers, the ...

Until recently, a very common problem faced by electronic circuit designers was the difference in supply voltage standards between microcontrollers (e.g. 3.3 V) and peripheral ICs (e.g. 5 V). In order ...
